Hi Y'all
anyone know which transponder chip is in my key? It's for my 2009 L200 4work?
Thanks

why u asking?

I was thinking that too ????

The Transponder chip is paired to your trucks ECU.
You cant just buy the chips over the counter.

i reakon he wants a second key cut perhaps or he is going to steel a truck lol

I'm fitting a remote locking kit and want to use the remote keyfob as the ignition key as well? I realise that I'll need to get the chip matched to my coil, and that I'll need to get the keyfob blanks cut. I just need to get a couple of chips (off ebay, probably) and I'll take them down to the local cobbler / keysmith to get them to program them? I understand all the concerns about nicking trucks, but thats not the case. I just want to get the right chip?

oh....if you check my previous post before Xmas, you'l see that I had a drivers door lock that seized, so it's an solution to that problem, even though I've cleaned and replaced the lock.

The average L200 owner wont have a clue as to what Transponder chip is inside the key.
I have had 3 x L200s in 7 years and cannot answer your question.
If my key was faulty i would use the spare and take both keys and the truck, to my local vehicle lock specialist for him to fix it.

i bet Mitsubishi dont even know!

Why not ask the local keysmith / cobbler to supply and program what you need.

too easy

Do they even have transponders they dont have the basics like deadlocks

yep

yep , they have transponders....

a good vehicle lock specialist will be able to do a new one

My main concern is if you have the transponder in the trucker permanently to remote start it , and it gets stolen ...what are the insurance company going to say?

No, I wont have a transponder permanently in the truck. I have a central locking kit that comes with a flip key fob which opens/closes the truck. I want to use this fob as the main (only?) key to enter and start the truck. I can get the blank key recut, thats no biggy, but I need a transponder for the fob. I know I;ll have to get it programmed to my ecu but again, no biggy. I could cut the transponder out of my existing key, but that seems a bit of a waste? Nothing sinister here, I'm not going to clone anyone's truck nor am I going to nick anyones.I think I need a ID46 transponder, just wondered if any of you could confirm?

Can you not take the transponder out of tge original key

Yep, could do, but that would mean cutting the key plastic in half to remove the transponder. Seems a bit of a waste when they cost £100 ish from Mitsubishi (matched to my ecu). Anew transponder is £5?
